I love fall. It gives way to the cold blunt winter, but not before sharing it's warmth and depth of color. I prefer fall to any other season, so it's a shame that Mother Nature rarely shares more than a few weeks of fall with her state of Utah.

However, for those few brief weeks, I am looking forward to curling up on our porch swing with a blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, a book, and a slice of pumpkin cake! We don't have a porch swing yet... but hint, hint...

Fall has been peeking through every few days, only to hide again behind 90°+ weather, but I certainly enjoy it while it is here. I haven't even unpacked our coats and winter clothes just yet, in fact I actually have to find them since the big move, hence the delay... but, we do know where the Halloween decorations are! I'm really looking forward to having a house for trick or treaters to solicit. With this in mind,... wait for it,... we have decided to be the house that gives away full size candy bars - so if you are in the neighborhood you now have a heads up on where to stop to make your Halloween legendary!

This was us last year... so start preparing for the fun, coming in 51 days.

Sweet Talkers:

Maple and pecan sound like great additions to pumpkin bread. We started giving away full sized candy bars too - so fun. FYI - I find lots of kids prefer Skittles or other non chocolate items. Giant pixie sticks were a big hit too. Have fun!

I made it tonight, thought it odd that there were no eggs, popped it in the oven, came back here to check on the eggs and saw that you wrote "three" instead of a number like all of the other ingredients. I quickly took it out of the oven, folded in 3 beaten eggs and am crossing my fingers that it still comes out well. Now I wish the weather would get just a bit cooler to go with my favorite fall foods.
